Doom3 and OSS emulation
by Marios K. 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

I have this motheboard MSI K8N-Neo54G. O know the doom3 uses the oss sound system so in my modprobe.conf.local file i added the alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Now it seems that i have oss emulation. But when i try to play this message appears ----------- OSS Sound Initialization ----------- opened sound device '/dev/dsp' /dev/dsp - bit rate: 16, channels: 2, frequency: 44100 WARNING: mmap 32768 bytes on device /dev/dsp failed: Input/output error close sound device WARNING: sound subsystem disabled ------------------------------------------------

Why did Novell's Co-Chair get the boot?
by Kevin.Wilson＠comtrol.com 11 Nov '04

He was the one spearheading the Linux movement at Novell. What does this mean for SuSE since he was the one responsible for the acquisition? Are they going to try and pull a move like Redhat did?

Nvidia driver 629 on laptop
by Brad Bourn 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

I downloaded and installed the new Nvidia driver for my laptop. after installation successfully completes, when it goes into X, I have a black screen (like it is sending to TV out or something) So, I modified my XF86Config to include the ConnectedMonitor CRT and still black screen. I can switch to console, but when I switch back, same black screen. Any ideas? The only thing I can think if is the wide-screen resolution of 1200x800. Thanks in advance. B-)

Unable to get USB Bluetooth adaptor to work
by Ozymandias 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Ok, I have a Cell Link BTA-3000 USB adapto that I can use successfully in Windows, so I know the unit is working. When I plug it into my USB port I get an error stating that the SDPD server is not running. If I open a console an set that runnig, I no longer get the error, however the kbluetoothd application is still hanging. A small op up window indicates "You may replace bluez's pin helper program with kbluepin; it is located in /opt/kde3/lib64/kdebluetooth now." The pop up window will only respond if I remove the USB device. Plugging the device back in freezes the application again. Unplugging the gets the system responding again. IN fact unplugging the adaptor gives me an error message stating that the adaptor has been unplugged. I have checked and I have the bluez packages installed. Before I switched over to my Shuttle G5 I was having similar problems with a 32bit version of Suse 9.1 running on a Dell C640. Any help would be appreciated. Lance

OpenGL applications seems to freeze my system
by Marios K. 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

In my SuSE 9.1 system i installed nvidia drivers (i have tested both 6111 and )but from time time the system hard-reboots itself. For example if i start the system and try to play doom3 its ok. If i exit from doom3 and then start it again then is possible that my system reboots. The same problems apperars with matlab 7 (which uses opengl). First time ok, second time reboots). And when i mean reboot i mean reboot like presing the reset button.

SuSE 9.1 on NFORCE3 SATA-RAID
by Marios K. 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

In my machine, i have 2 sata-disk connected on my raid controller as mirror(MSI motherboard with NFORCE3 , amd 64 bit). In the raid disks is installed windows XP. I put one ide hard-disk to install SuSE 9.1 (64 bit). In the installation procedure, the yast partitioner module can't undestand the raid and "see" them as hde and hdg ( with the partions as hde2-hde3 and hdg2-hdg3). This in not a real problem since i want to intall the suse on my ide drive (hdd). The installation ends succesufully, but when it comes to reboot the bootlader won't load and boots only to windows. When i use the installation cd and boot from it, after the first menu appears (boot from hard disk, installation etc.) , and choose the boot from hard disk, then grub appears with the below options Linux -> (boots fine) Windows1-->root (hd0,0) Windows2-->root(hd1,0) Windows3-->root(dh0,1) Failsafe None of the windows options boots the windows. Two questions 1)I allready try to install grub to hde using the yast module, but nothing happens. Where the grub should be installed? 2)Why windows is not booting? P.S. Now i am booting using a floppy if i want to boot to linux, and if i want to boot to windows i just remove tde floppy!!!

Amd64 9.2 Suse speech-recognition and running wine on amd64 suse 9.2
by bob sandefur 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

I have two AMD 64 machines that dual boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and suse 9.2. The only reason I boot to Windows XP is Dragon Naurally Speaking 8.0 which is a very good speech recognition program if you are diligent about training it (any typos in this e-mail are the fault of NaturallySpeaking). Three questions about running speech-recognition on SUSE 9.2 on AMD 64: 1. Is there any decent speech recognition software (commercial OK) which runs on AMD 64 and 9.2? 2. On my Opteron 144 desktop I have a Windows in a fat 32 partition (I assumed I would want to run a Wine from time to time and thought that fat 32 was the way to go since I assumed I needed read/write access to the Windows partition for wine to work). However, when I start a Wine Windows application it says it can't open the X server and exits. 3. On my Athlon 64 I have a Windows in an compressed NTFS partition and I still get can't open X-server and exit. As I recall wine was working just fine under SUSE 9.0 on a 32bit (sorry but it was a pentium) chip. Any answers, comments or suggestions? Robert (Bob) L.

No USB on nForce3 after YOU
by Martin Schröder 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi, we have here two computers with MSI K8N Neo mainboards (nForce3 chipset). After turning off ACPI, the freshly installed 9.2 correctly handled plugged-in USB-sticks (mounting them automatically). Then we installed the nvidia network driver and updated the system via YOU. Now USB works at most once: the first plugin works; after that lsusb simply hangs. stracing lsub ends with getdents(3, /* 3 entries */, 4096) = 72 open("/proc/bus/usb/003/001", O_RDONLY) = 4 read(4, <unfinished ...> Any idea how to fix this?
